Suppliers / Vendors

First and foremost, Tronox is not going out of business. We will continue to produce quality products and provide the unparalleled customer service for which Tronox is known. Goods and services received after the filing date can and will be paid for in the ordinary course. In fact, the Bankruptcy Code gives priority status to such payments, which means vendors will receive payment in the ordinary course of business for post-petition goods and services on the same terms as existed when we filed.

Unfortunately, the Bankruptcy Code precludes payment for goods and services received before January 12, 2009, the date of filing. Payments on this pre-petition indebtedness will be settled as part of a plan of reorganization, which must be accepted by our creditors and approved by the court, or pursuant to a court order.
